Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. It's best known for influencing mood, emotions, and sleep. Serotonin helps regulate mood and anxiety, and its adequate levels are associated with well-being and happiness. Imbalances in serotonin levels can lead to conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, and sleep problems.
Serotonin Syndrome occurs when there's an excess of serotonin in the nervous system. It's often triggered by the introduction of new drugs, drug interactions, or dosage increases, particularly with antidepressants, such as SSRIs and MAOIs.
